What will student learn about in music class?

Each grade level builds on musical skills from kindergarten to fifth grade. Students are assessed on 3-4 skills that they are expected to master each year. While these are the only skills that will appear on a report card, please click on the links below to go to a website with a list of skills and vocabulary that will be covered each year.

Last spring, 4th grade students started playing recorders. We will continue learning to play them. They should bring them back to school by September 5, 2023. They should be washing them with warm, soapy water, rinsing and letting them air dry. 

Current 4th grade students will be ordering recorders by mid-October. More details will follow soon....

Students in grades 2-5 will work with Ukulele's during music class throughout the year. Students do NOT need to purchase a ukulele. I received a Beyond the Books Grant several years ago and PTO has also provided additional ukulele's so we have a class set.  Mr. Bosquez created a hanging unit on the wall and the students are always excited to learn to play them!
